*Note: Since there were 2 versions existing before I unified Japanese and Chinese in 2.0, if you installed the Chinese version from the addons.mozilla.org site, installing from the above link will cause 2 versions to be installed at once. Simply remove the old one and all will be fine.

Can you add an option that disables the Perakun Tools menu option, the right click option, and the icon at the bottom right corner? I find that all those do is add clutter, when I just use it from the navigation toolbar.

Here is an image of my browser using Firefox 3.6 RC1 and no issues whatsoever at all as far as I can tell. Even enabling it and using it works fine as well just haven’t taken a pic of it but it works. So I don’t see what others are having issues with. Again thanks for the update and I hope you can answer my issue of having the Korean one disabled. Is there a way to add dictionaries to it? I was thinking of a possible Firefox extension that can be possibly installed like the Chinese one since I have both Chinese/Japanese working perfectly.

I’m not sure what others problems are, either, but when I upgraded, my Chinese language option disappeared (leaving only Japanese). I just uninstalled all instances of Perapera-kun, reinstalled them, and it worked fine. Those of you with problems might make sure that you don’t simultaneously have the old 2.0 version AND the new 2.1 version installed. Just uninstall all versions and reinstall them, hopefully it should fix itself.

Also, I made alternate Chinese language flags for anyone to use. The “Stylish” extension is required to use these.

Wenjonggal,
To be fair to Justin (la mogura), testing is a bitch for programmers and there will always be a bug or two that gets past them. Sometimes they’ll be big (like your case) and sometimes they’ll be small. He does this in his free time and it’s a free plugin after all so perhaps he took your original post as too demanding sounding. As for his attitude, maybe he’s having a bad day, maybe not, but there’s nothing much you can do about that.

From what I can see, you’re using an ancient version of FireFox so try updating that and see what happens. If that doesn’t work, try disabling your other plugins to see if there’s some sort of conflict. If that doesn’t work either, then I’m out of ideas.

Is anyone else finding 2.1 rather buggy? First, it won’t install from the Mozilla web page. Second, the Save function is not working at all: the S key does nothing, although other shortcut keys seem to be working fine. And finally, there is no way to Show/Hide the Word List. I apologize for possibly repeating the obvious here, but I couldn’t find any other posts on dealing with these problems. I’m sure you’re working on fixes, but in the mean time, I’d like to roll back to 2.0. Is there a link? Mozilla will not point me to previous versions.

I feel like I should end in praise of THE add-on that keeps me from even thinking about using any browser other than FF. Despite these minor glitches, the steady trend for PPK has been toward greater functionality, ease of use, and usefulness. Thank you a million times over.

Since the December update, though, i can’t use the “add to wordlist” function. The “S” key copies the definition and word to the clipboard, but where my sidebar used to open up and show the wordlist, now nothing happens.

Is there some file somewhere i should tweak to get the wordlist working aain?

My system is a stock Debian Lenny 64bit, w/Iceweasel. I have the All-in-one sidebar installed, along with quite a few other add-ons.

I used the wordlist application with a former Perapera-kun but it doesn’t work with the new version.
When the popup is visible, clicking on the “s” button doesn’t open the wordlist.
I also tried to “show” the wordlist in the menu after clicking on right button on the yellow star, but nothing changed.
Do you have an idea to fix my problem?

I’m experiencing some trouble using perapera-kun (Chinese) 2.1 in Firefox (v 3.0.11) on a Linux platform. Specifically, installation and activation seem to work perfectly, but hovering my mouse over a lot of characters does not activate the translation box.

For instance, on the homepage of baidu.com, perapera-kun gives me the translation of ? ? (second block of characters from the left above the search box) but not the translation of ? ? (first block from the left).

However, the add-on works perfectly under Windows 7, which makes me think it’s a Linux-related issue.

Thank you for building this software. I have to say it is extremely helpful and I’m utterly grateful to your efforts.

To reinstall 2.0 instead of 2.1
1. Uninstall 2.1 (you can leave the dictionary in place)
2. Download 2.0 XPI file
3. Open the 2.0 XPI file in Firefox (File->Open File)
4. Make sure you have one of the Perakun dictionaries installed as before

Now you should be able to save a you are looking up by clicking ‘s’. The word list sidebar should show up. You can export your word list in the sidebar by selecting the words you want and clicking on “Entries”.
